Just cruising by to check here and the DeathPool; both among my favorite places. I did go in Sunday and it was bad in a good and funny way — for me. For the bosses not so much so. Over 40% no-shows and we did the evil of rolling over volume yet again. This as well will go on their Permanent Record. Monday was brutal and we mostly caught up and yesterday sealed it so we can get more snow tomorrow and screw the pooch yet again. A big issue has been getting the trailers on the door. The lines in the parking lot have been painted twice in three years – in the truck yard not at all. To paint new lines they would have to reduce volume for a couple days and pay more to have half painted at a time. Our yard crew (common associates like me whose assigned task is backing 53’ trailers around) complained and begged all year for new lines to no avail so guess what? They aren’t stressing out over all this. One trailer Monday night took almost an hour to get on and positioned so it could be safely worked in. I have worked pretty hard, I have had a LOT of fun mostly laughing at the “we told you so” moments and we’ll let history figure it all out later. Well its almost time for another day of adventure to begin.
Almost missed it! Same here dear-heart!
Howdy Y’all! I procured provisions and they are all stowed where they live until they get et up. Shrimpies and spareguts for tonight’s sup were among the items procured. I await the arrival of my laptop. Apparently I must sign for it when it is delivered. Tomorrow I get to hang around until meds arrive. FedEx has me at their mercy!
Didn’t sleep well last night. Gibbs was sick. Threw up about a dozen times. Always on the rug, 'cause tradition must be observed. Still doesn’t want to eat anything this morning, but seems a little perkier, and not vomiting anymore, so far.
blurf
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Mom!!!
Happy Birthday Mooommmm!
Things have been hectic and screwy lately. 'Beamette is going into the hospital next week for treatment for issues relating to her migraines last year. There’s other stuff going on too. I’m not posting much because I think there will be a lot of blueness and I don’t want to make you all deal with it.
Hugs to everyone. I am here but silent.
Happy birthday Fcm i’m waiting for my trip to the dungeon erm I mean gym
Wish it was a certain dungeon I knew of at least at that one you got a view of a certain Latina redhead in a very thin catsuit that would purr as you were tortured. …
I miss a lot of my misspent youth
Thanks for that happies - I can use them. Daughter has pneumonia, and SIL would rather play his video games than entertain his daughter. I used to think he was a good dad - now, not so much.
I stopped to get wonton soup and hot-n-sour soup on the way home for the sickies (**FCD **is feeling punky, too.) They’re all asleep, so I’ll feed the dogs and eat alone. Yep, happy birthday to me. 
Get well FCM’s family!
My boss came back after lunch and a meeting and kinda-sorta apologized for her tone. It was along the lines of “I know you didn’t write these instructions, and I know you’re still learning the machines. I’m kind of shocked that the previous writer messed up so much stuff and that shock came out the wrong way.” Still a stressful situation, though.
Tomorrow is my MRI to see if my brain is falling apart. I think it is.
Happy Birthday **Moommm **!
I had a day that’s for sure. Yesterday hubby had a skin cancer cut out of his arm. This morning he was bleeding so bad I had to call the Doc at 0700 and he went back for double stitching then did not do as ordered which was come home and take it easy. Around lunch he called and was bleeding again and heading back to the Dr. Again he was told to come home and sit around for the rest of the day which he finally did to give this thing a chance to scab over.
Mooommm you are better than me as I would tell SIL exactly what is expected of him while his wife is sick. I just don’t have any filter anymore. Ain’t nobody got no time for such foolishness. Anyway, I hope daughter feels better soonest.
Happy birthday Mooooooom!
Juliet, while it was a slap in the face when it happened, at least your boss was self aware enough to realize it and apologize.
{{{gibbs and bumba}}} I hope that the little guy is feeling better soonest.
I got the first light bill that I owed anything on since September. It was for a whopping $6.16. I should be so lucky for the rest of the winter. The electric co-op refunded my deposit and it took this long to use it up. I think that it was likely close to a wash for them to process financially.
Howdy Y’all! I am postin’ on my laptop. YAY! It showed up about five-thirty and I have been gettin’ things set up right again. Also, I had to reinstall Norton. Gotta fight off them viruses! Anywho it seems to be workin’ fine. YAY! I am sure there are things I will still need to do however.
{{{Sunny}}} we’re here if you need us. Hope everything goes well with Beamette and with the other stuff as well.
Bumba Give Gibbs skritches from his Unca swampy.
MOOOOOOM hope all the sickies are better soonest.
Juliet best wishes for tomorrow. I hope the MRI helps them get a diagnosis. {{{hugs}}}
I ended up making pork chops and fart blossoms for dinner. The meatballs were lunch. Now I have lots of food in the fridge and shouldn’t have to cook for a few days.
All the ice out back melted except for a few shady patches in front of the shed. The shed has an overhang though so I can walk up close to it where the ground is dry.
Ripple was so happy to come home, and he approved of the pork chops and fart blossoms. I wasn’t going to share the fart blossoms but he wants them too.
My son, sometimes I wonder about him… He eats his meatballs on a roll and since the rolls had been in the freezer and weren’t quite thawed all the way, he thought a good way to warm them was to hold them over the steam coming out of the dishwasher. It didn’t occur to him that if the steam smells like soap it would make the rolls taste like soap.
Now he knows.
I never got a nap in today and I am feeling it now.
I went through a big box in the middle bedroom, no idea where the stuff came from, it’s not mine. Althought it might be from a crafter friend of mine who dropped off some stuff years ago, but that was an orange container and this one is clear. Anyway, tons of ribbon, paper and card stock, and stickers, and bows, all kinds of little doodads to put on things, a mess of stamps (no ink though). I have enough crafting stuff to last longer than I will. The box was so heavy I coud barely slide it across the rug. I put all the paper stuff in a different box and moved all of it to the cat room, which I hope I can set up for crafting. If I ever have time for it.
I should probably just give it all away.
I hope {{{FCDaughter}}} feels better soon, and give SIL a whap on the head.
Butters, you should probably give your husband a whap too.
Hope all goes well with you Juliet, and with Beamette and that Gibbs is better.
Congrats Swampy on having a puter again.
it sounds like the" new kitten stage" is over for sil and now theres actually work involved hes mostly over it until he gets in the mood ………..
I don’t normally doom someones relationship but I don’t see that one surviving if/when they move out …..
They’ve been together almost 8 years and honestly, I don’t get it. She has a history of rescuing broken guys, tho she did have the good sense to divorce one. She’s 33, so it’s her life. But I don’t understand at all…
Tahred. I need sleep…zzzzzz-zzzzzzzzzzz
sari, your craft box sounds right up my alley. Have fun with it.
Evening all. Rained all day as predicted and it’s finally moving on (get out the waders, swampy).
Nothing much accomplished but a lot of reading done and no bills in the mail, so a good day.
FCM, hope Daughter gets to feeling better and a Gibbs Dope Slap to the SIL.
swampy, congrats in re-joining the electronic age.
Juliet, take a deep breath, hug your kids, and see what tomorrow brings.
Butters, never been one but from watching, every husband in the world is stubborn about ‘resting’ when they hurt themselves. “Tis’ but a scratch”
Sunny, hope Beamette gets to doing better.
Ruble, sounds like maybe new bosses may be in store for the near future? Not that they would be an improvement (“Meet the New Boss; Same as the Old Boss”)
All of y’all take care now.
Howdy all. 
I thought of you when I saw all the paper and card stock.
Hey {{{Sticky}}}!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 58 Amurrkin out and cloudy (well, dark) with a predicted high of 52 and mostly cloudy for the day. :dubious: Seriously that’s what TWPTB are sayin’. No biggie plans for the day. I must hang about da cave as meds are bein’ delivered via FedEx. Still some things I need to set up on puter as well. Since I have a brand spankin’ new hard drive it’s like havin’ a brand new puter.
{{{StickyBuns}}} ::tacklehug:: Howdy! Come back and play some more.
{{{Juliet}}} appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed the MRI helps with findin’ a diagnosis.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day! Rah.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
